[0:00] 官. Councillor McKinney. Council member for the council. Councillor McKinney.
[0:11] Okay. This is where
[0:13] we're going to start. We're going to go a little bit out before the friend Cable Deeds is
[0:17] here. Cable is a member of the conservation advisory council, and she has a appointment.
[0:30] She
[0:30] again, or make some of my sneak faces.
[0:33] So one of the reasons why I'm sure this evening is,
[0:37] in 2021, I started getting together information
[0:41] on how we can improve chickens in the town.
[0:43] And with the last revision that draft,
[0:46] we knew that there was still work that had to be done,
[0:49] but in order to get it on the books,
[0:50] we kind of pushed it through knowing
[0:52] that we would come back to some of the points.
[0:55] Last week, we had at the DBA,
[0:57] there was the zoning work appeals. One of the residents had a group that didn't meet the
[1:04] setbacks for 25 feet from the neighbor and 20 feet from the primary residence. And there's
[1:11] really no explanation that we know of as to why we chose those numbers and where they came
[1:16] from. And there has to be a reason or maybe you know also flexibility to update that. If we look
[1:23] at Albany in the city where there's not much space at all they do allow chickens and there is no
[1:29] restriction from any distance from the primary residence. I have a double lot and I measure today
[1:37] this afternoon and I have about 50 feet in total from the back of my house to a industrial fence.
[1:45] So that means I would only have a five foot window to put a chicken coop which would be too small
[1:51] for the group that I would even put in.
[1:54] But I have a third of an anchor.
[1:56] I have ample room in the back my backyard,
[1:59] which is an exact reason why these setbacks
[2:03] aren't even feasible.
[2:05] I can't meet them.
[2:06] And me having a lot of space,
[2:10] if I can't meet it, none of my neighbors can meet that either.
[2:13] And we shouldn't all have to put in
[2:15] for a variance and go that route.
[2:17] If everyone has to do that,
[2:18] then there's something wrong with how we wrote it.
[2:20] I did check in with the building department for setbacks for a shed and a shed is five feet
[2:29] on front and rear from any neighboring property lines and then 12 feet from another structure.
[2:35] So we definitely have reasonability on a shed for where that can be but the chicken coop is just so
[2:42] excessive that we say we can hatch against but no one can meet these tax and I think that
[2:50] this is a great place that we actually have seen it now as an issue in the town that we can
[2:54] have that discussion to work on what we can do to have a reasonable setback. So what is your specific
[3:00] proposal?
[3:03] Either we can match what the shed is which would be five feet from any other property lines
[3:11] and 12 feet from another structure, or we have to really look into why we chose 25 feet
[3:17] and 20 feet because those numbers aren't commonly used.
[3:22] Well, 25 feet makes sense to me.
[3:25] The case that K was referring to, there were two neighbors.
[3:30] One set of neighbors had chickens, they had their 20 feet from the house, but the neighbors
[3:38] neighbors next to the word complaining about the noise. So what they did is they moved back
[3:42] all the way to the house so they were far away from those neighbors as they could be.
[3:48] And then the neighbors, that's a zoning violation, so the neighbors filed a complaint. And there
[3:53] was nothing that the zoning board could do because of the way that the thing is written. But
[4:00] this was a case of people who really depend on, they'd throw their own food, they really
[4:07] depend on these check ins and now they have to get rid of them because there's no
[4:11] space within this. So for me the difference between a shed and a
[4:16] check ins is significant. So I wouldn't suggest the same setbacks for check ins
[4:20] as for sheds. Sheds don't make a lot of noise. But I do think what I'm going to do
[4:27] and you and I have talked about this is I'm going to ask the planning department to
[4:32] to explain the value and purpose of the 20 feet
[4:36] from the prime residence.
[4:39] Where does that come from?
[4:40] Because what we did here was we looked at other
[4:43] units of housing and we took language
[4:46] that has been used in other places.
[4:49] But to your point, we have been amazed
[4:54] that the building department has not been
[4:55] overwhelmed with chicken issues.
[4:58] And I think you have part of the reason why
[5:00] It's not that many people have check-ups because of the way that it's written.
[5:06] And for me, that's what's kind of even more heartbreaking was, I spent years trying to get this personally.
[5:12] I can't even meet these requirements, so.
[5:15] I don't know.
[5:16] I know.
[5:18] I think there's other words.
[5:20] More conversation, you know, definitely to be had at that end.
[5:25] I mean, I think that Albany kind of has it right because if there's no setback
[5:30] from our primary residence and all the other conditions are met, like if it is, okay,
[5:34] ventilation issue, but we also have it written that their capacity adequate ventilation
[5:38] and all these other things. So, I think that that point kind of is next.
[5:43] I
[5:45] will ask the planning department to look at you on that by the end.
[5:50] All right. Thank you. Thank you.
[5:52] You're welcome. Okay. Now we'll go back to the regular order of things at the start of
[5:57] the ultimate comments from the Calcurs.
[5:59] Calcurs can.
[6:02] Good afternoon.
[6:03] Thanks very much.
[6:06] So thank everybody for being here tonight.
[6:08] Can Tom and I do the day call for us?
[6:11] I guess he thinks it's strange for people tonight.
[6:15] And for the best fallout on our county.
[6:18] Right now, it's time to register if you want.
[6:21] There's a hazardous waste disposal event
[6:25] that the county is running.
[6:26] So it's September 19th, and it's going to be a good way to get rid of your household housing
[6:31] waste.
[6:33] It'll be at the Town of Brunswick Town Hall, which is at 336 Town Office Road in Troy.
[6:40] And when you're ready to serve it, it is free, but you have to register, you can call
[6:43] it in Toronto City.
[6:45] She's at Brunswick County Environmental Management Council at 518-270-2888, and it's going
[6:54] to be on September 18th.
[6:56] Also, we have one more night of music in the park.
[7:01] Unfortunately, this past one Monday was canceled because of the rain.
[7:05] So to say all this way of shit is our last plane from the 68-A
[7:11] on and on park.
[7:12] It was pretty good, the last one that we didn't have.
[7:15] It was really nice.
[7:16] It just said less than a music.
[7:20] And also, we're getting ready to do our eSquenish,
[7:24] are a show, community are a show for 2026.
[7:28] And we're looking for people to submit their artwork
[7:31] like drawing, photography, painting.
[7:34] The art show is going to be a community day.
[7:40] People will be able to display their artwork
[7:43] in the red barn for community day.
[7:47] It must be over 10 to enter.
[7:49] And the deadline to fit your entries in
[7:52] is this Sunday, August 23rd, so there's a form on my engine form, actually, on the community
[8:00] and on the recreation, Facebook page,
[8:05] that's from that. We've had a really nice turn out
[8:08] less, but less than a number of people I've worked with, it's pretty great. And so September 12th,
[8:14] it's our community day, it's here on the fund day, from the London 3rd at Camp Heart. And you know,
[8:20] There's a lot of events going on, and that's the health chapter, the drone, the K-9 demonstration,
[8:27] and the case painting, and the debtors, and it's all a long, fun day.
[8:33] Now, also, Easter-Rish Parking Department, there's a forum on my Facebook page, what page?
[8:39] People that had a lot of damage to either your property or your,
[8:46] this forum that you can use
[8:47] to report to FEMA any damage that he experienced.
[8:50] This is at our last historical range, so I'm even,
[8:55] so FEMA may make funding available
[8:57] for recovery and mitigation efforts,
[9:01] depending on the value of the cost.
[9:04] So, people that have had, you know,
[9:08] damage and stuff, those, I would take it, you know,
[9:11] you never know if you can get as much as the sixth thing
[9:14] if I would do that.
[9:15] And I'm also on a Facebook page of East British P.D. Police Department is a flyer that summarizes our e-bike safety laws and rules of the road, and I think everybody should really familiarize themselves with this.
[9:30] It's a really nice summary of Tarotian children, our kids, who are really our goal is to keep the community safe, like drivers and drivers of e-bikes and scooters.
[9:45] So, I think it's our general rule of the road, so nobody has no problem.
[9:51] Additionally, on August 24th, from 47, at East Gumbush Town Park, the Redstone County
[9:58] Devonies Sheriff's are having a chicken barbecue event from 47, $20, and the public is invited.
[10:17] Lastly, I just wanted to say I can graduate Christian Bertrand on his 31 years of service.
[10:24] He's a dispatcher, he's retiring soon, so we'll have a big, I was walk out, it's coming
[10:31] on 2 September 10 at one.
[10:34] So, on the other hand, I'm more on that day as well.
[10:38] And on the night we'll be passing a resolution, accepting his retirement and all that, and
[10:45] Chris want to know why there would be something to be here, so nice, okay.
[10:49] Good job.
[10:51] 31 years.
[10:52] 31 years.
[10:53] He used to lean against the pod downstairs, whenever a dispatcher I'd never heard before, and so I would just lean against the pod and listen to him answer a few calls.
[11:05] Chris was great. He was great. He and Keith never, never wavered. Really, really good. Good man did a good job. So we'll make a plus sign with Chris.
[11:16] Is
[11:19] that it?
[11:20] That's it.
[11:21] That's it.
[11:22] Your time.
[11:22] Oh, I know.
[11:24] Councillor MATTERS.
[11:26] Thank you, Mr. Supervisor.
[11:28] Other than just to welcome both tonight, I have nothing else for you.
[11:32] Councillor King.
[11:33] Nothing else to do.
[11:35] Okay.
[11:35] I just want to add something to what Holly said.
[11:40] Tuesday at Music Park is also the 100th birthday party for kind of the lake.
[11:46] There will be a cake, the band is in, they're good, they'll play happy birthday, which is
[11:55] not in their normal set, and the police will be serving hot dogs and hamburgers are coming
[12:01] there to pay for the hamburgers.
[12:07] You're going to be up three times tomorrow if you're telling that, but they aren't
[12:12] any.
[12:14] But it should be a fun night.
[12:17] Bobby Reno, the art town, is starting to speak for a few minutes on the history of the
[12:21] late, which was created in 1926.
[12:25] So that's important.
[12:27] The e-bikes, we're going to start getting busy on those.
[12:31] So this is not funny anymore.
[12:34] This is dangerous, and in the beginning of an enforcement
[12:40] push we're going to have to make.
[12:41] We're going to have to publicly show people
[12:47] that we're not going to stand for this.
[12:51] Somebody's calling me get hurt or killed.
[12:54] And whereas we had a fatality in an accident on Ridge Road,
[13:00] But the most distraught person I've ever seen in my life was the woman who ran over this
[13:05] guy who was laying in the road.
[13:08] She couldn't have done anything different.
[13:10] She had nothing to do with it.
[13:13] And her life was changed forever.
[13:15] So it's not just the kids who could get hurt down there.
[13:19] They can ruin lives out there.
[13:22] So we're going to start putting in local laws, police are going to start grabbing them and
[13:28] And we're talking about other municipalities and police departments on what's the best way to do that.
[13:34] And finally, for the counselors, we have an issue coming up that this board's going to have to decide,
[13:41] but we're not going to decide until we have Jim, because the issue is what should be proper aged and be at summer camp.
[13:50] Okay, summer camp has, we've had to use where the counselors were subpart, maybe, we've
[13:59] had years where parents were the problem.
[14:03] This year the kids were the problem, three kids had to be exiled camp, one for telling
[14:15] the African-American co-directors that she needs to go back to slavery.
[14:22] Yeah, we're not having that.
[14:24] And we call the parents and I'm like, oh, we don't know where that comes from.
[14:29] I do. I know exactly where it comes from.
[14:33] So the issue is we have up to eighth graders.
[14:38] So the issue the board's going to have to deal with is
[14:41] should we limit the camp to K through 6 or do we keep 7 of the name and there's
[14:48] all kinds of arguments probably come. The problem of having these kids in
[14:53] campus, they don't want to be there. They're 13 and 14, their counselors are 16.
[15:00] And their parents are making them go to camp. So, they don't want to participate, but I think we have this amazing coincidence of having probably the world's leading expert on the contemporary wounds of people at age in general. And, you know, because he's got six to eight. So, Jim can tell us where the cutoff is. Yeah.
[15:27] Yeah. So, when Jim's here, we're going to have to
[15:29] a good decision on that. It was a good New York can. Kids had fun and they asked every inspection.
[15:37] Everything went the way it was supposed to go. But the book that the directors keep,
[15:43] where they write down each incident where a kid acted out. My goodness, that book is four times as long as it has ever been.
[15:51] and kids putting their hands on other kids' throats.
[15:57] But the older guys were a lot of the problem.
[16:01] And Lisa also told you that some of those guys were awesome.
[16:04] They were just plate campers and helped out.
[16:07] So at some point, the board's going
[16:09] to have to figure that one out.
[16:14] And we'll lay everything out and see how many campers there
[16:16] are what it caused, how the campaign is for itself, and all that.
[16:22] OK, with that, we go to the public comment.
[16:25] Would anyone like to address the board?
[16:28] You're good, Liam?
[16:30] It's a time of 16 for the day.
[16:34] Yes.
[16:35] Yes, I'm looking forward to September 16.
[16:40] This is how far we've gotten in planning.
[16:42] it is the clock company will do the first beginning.
[16:47] They're going to be more concise than they were last time.
[16:51] What can be done, what can be done.
[16:53] Then the police department's going to make
[16:55] the presentation on how to use this.
[16:58] And then the district attorney wants
[17:00] to say a few words, so Mary Patwood gets this microphone
[17:04] any time she wants it.
[17:05] We'll say a few words, and then we're going to open it up.
[17:08] And the way we're going to open it up is we're
[17:10] I have a sign in the sheet, e-screen-wish people first.
[17:15] This is about whether these cameras are right or wrong
[17:18] for the town of e-screen-wish.
[17:20] It's not about who's winning and Troy.
[17:23] It's not about Troy politics.
[17:27] So I'm going to get forward to that, too,
[17:30] because I just want all the cards on the table.
[17:34] Pro, con, not sure, the questions,
[17:37] and we'll go from there.
[17:39] So, Barbara, do you want us to say anything?
[17:42] Well, sure.
[17:43] Just a dovetail on the e-bike stuff.
[17:48] I've seen some police officers sitting at some, not the trail heads, but at places like
[17:54] Route 4.
[17:55] And the kids all know that that's what they're doing there and they avoid it.
[18:01] And I know Nancy and Irrepoid has had more than a couple of incidents where kids have gone up
[18:06] and just destroyed her lawn.
[18:08] But my question in thought processes,
[18:12] can we get an officer on a bike to just have that be a shift,
[18:18] or separate it out, maybe just do a couple hours.
[18:21] Just the presence on the path is what
[18:24] means to have been parked in a car.
[18:26] It's easy to avoid.
[18:28] But on a bike, you can't miss it.
[18:30] And I also want to say I'm on the path a lot, both on my bike.
[18:35] And also welcome to us and just, you know, walking because I love it, but is there like maybe an opportunity if we see someone who we snap a picture and can send it somewhere so that people get familiar with the faces of these people that are on them, you know, or just something, you know, I don't know about that, but we have, we do have a bike patrol, but they're not weebikes, they're bicycles.
[19:03] And we do have some young guys who move very quickly.
[19:09] But there was a possibility to even donate an e-bike to the e-scrimmage police officers.
[19:14] I'd be happy to do that.
[19:16] You know, if that means somebody's going to be on it and control it.
[19:20] But one time the department put in for a boat.
[19:23] Let's see.
[19:26] And we still haven't got the boat.
[19:28] The amount of e-screabush that connects to water is not worth a boat.
[19:34] But yeah, we do agree with you, and we hope to be announcing in the next three or four months
[19:41] how we're going to do an overall approach on this because this is a public safety issue.
[19:48] It's getting very close to the top of public safety problems.
[19:52] Also, Warrior Bell Rail Trail has very prominently displayed in a bunch of areas the rules of the
[20:01] road.
[20:02] And I know we have them at trailheads, but that's not always where people are getting on the
[20:07] path.
[20:08] And maybe there's no opportunities to sprinkle them around within our town, you know.
[20:13] Just to let them know eyes are on.
[20:22] Okay, let's go to the rest of it.
[20:33] I move the adoption resolution 159-2026
[20:36] to approve the public hearing minutes
[20:40] or the public hearing held on July 8th, 2026.
[20:44] May I have a second?
[20:45] I will second.

[20:57] Yes.
[20:57] Yes.
[20:57] Councillor Kennedy.
[20:59] Yes.
[21:00] I'd like to move the adoption resolution 160 to 2026 to approve the meeting minutes of
[21:07] the regularly scheduled town board meeting held on July 15, 2026, and I have a second.
[21:14] I will second that.
[21:15] Thank you.
[21:15] Any further discussion?
[21:18] Councillor Matters.
[21:19] Yes.
[21:20] Councillor Kahnig.
[21:21] Yes.
[21:21] Supervisor Kahnig.
[21:22] Yes.
[21:23] Councillor Kahnig.
[21:23] Yes.
[21:25] Resolution 161 of 2026 is a resolution to authorize a waste management of New York
[21:30] and incorporate to provide a four-yard dumpster service for the transfer station
[21:35] and move this resolution. May I have a second? I will serve you the motion.
[21:40] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[21:42] Yeah, we're a very generous and mad man in this town. I have a cat. I don't even use
[21:52] Well, I beg your pardon?
[21:57] Yes.
[21:57] Councillor Matters?
[21:58] Yes.
[21:59] Councillor Kennedy?
[22:00] Yes.
[22:00] Councillor Kennedy.
[22:01] Yes.
[22:04] I'd like to move the adoption resolution 162-2026 authorizing the solicitation of bids
[22:10] for the construction contract for necessary repairs to the salt shed at the Public Works
[22:18] garage.
[22:18] May I have a second?
[22:19] I'll second that. Thank you. Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[22:24] Yes, all. The end of it.
[22:27] It's like the Taj Mahal.
[22:35] It's a lot of points that are being structurally said
[22:43] to protect our souls.
[22:44] So, this is always a great improvement.
[22:48] And that actually becomes more important every year.
[22:52] Council matters? Yes.
[23:10] Yes
[23:12] I will
[23:25] Councilor Maddress.
[23:26] Yes.
[23:28] Resolution 164.
[23:29] 2026.
[23:30] The resolution to authorize the purchase of our five plays for our Council.
[23:35] Will it move these doctors?
[23:36] This resolution may activate seven to better.
[23:38] I will second that.
[23:40] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[23:44] Councilor Kennedy.
[23:45] Yes.
[23:46] Councilor Kahnig.
[23:47] Yes.
[23:47] Supervisor Kahnig.
[23:48] Yes.
[23:49] Councilor Maddress.
[23:50] Yes.
[23:52] Resolution 165.
[23:53] by the 2026 resolution, authorizing the information,
[23:56] the communication equipment at the Cross Street Water
[23:58] Comp Station, and City of Troy's block of land.
[24:01] And this resolution may have seconded.
[24:03] I will seconded.
[24:05] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[24:07] Just quickly.
[24:08] This is the end of Dylan resolution.
[24:11] Ed Works, head to Rensler City Employee
[24:15] who manned the Cross Street Comp Station.
[24:18] And because the systems are communicating, he has to go manually, turn on and off the pumps.
[24:30] So, they're not happy down there.
[24:32] We pay for everything for the cross street pump station.
[24:37] But Ed Dylan's food man works as a part of.
[24:40] He doesn't get the credit he deserves.
[24:42] This man has, I don't want to say single hand of it because Nick Clarino and the guys and everybody chips in.
[24:48] But this guy has kept the water running in the East Cream Bush and the City of Rensville for years.
[24:56] And he doesn't get thanked at all.
[24:59] At some point, we're going to honor him. We're going to get a plaque.
[25:01] We're going to make sure everyone in the East Cream Bush knows it.
[25:05] But I have to play a re-instating the communication electronically between the pump station and the City of Troy water plant
[25:15] that Ed does not have to go to Troy and come off the Pops, where this is important.
[25:22] Councillor Canning?
[25:24] Yes.
[25:25] Councillor Canning?
[25:25] Yes.
[25:26] Supervisor Padley?
[25:27] Yes.
[25:28] As for matters?
[25:28] Yes.
[25:30] The resolution 16th of 2026, a resolution authorizing this supervisor to find the undertaking
[25:38] agreement for the municipality within the New York State Department of Transportation.
[25:43] I would like to move to the adoption of the Federal Reserve to the Cabinet Secretary.
[25:47] I'll second that.
[25:48] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[25:52] Councilor Kennedy?
[25:53] Yes.
[25:54] Supervisor Kanoi?
[25:55] Yes.
[25:56] Councilor Matters?
[25:57] Yes.
[25:58] Councilor Kanoi.
[25:59] Yes.
[26:02] Resolution 167 of 2026.
[26:04] The resolution authorizing a picture municipal agreement with Mr. Kanoi for the best growth portion of the road-based state-free project grant.
[26:10] I move the resolution to ask that.
[26:13] A little second, please.
[26:14] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[26:18] Councilor Kahnig?
[26:20] Yes.
[26:20] Councilor Kahnig?
[26:21] Yes.
[26:22] Supervisor Kahnig?
[26:23] Yes.
[26:23] Councilor Mathers?
[26:25] Yes.
[26:27] Resolution 168 of 2026, a resolution authorizing change orders
[26:31] for William J. Keller and Son's construction
[26:33] work for the Cummins Pump Station Upgrade Project.
[26:37] I move this resolution to ask that.
[26:39] Oh, second in motion.
[26:41] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[26:44] And...
[26:45] Fixed through...
[26:46] Through all.
[26:49] Okay.
[26:51] Okay.
[26:52] Three.
[26:52] Yes.
[26:53] I think a little longer than expected.
[26:55] Yeah.
[26:56] What we have to come from behind in this one.
[26:58] Yeah.
[26:59] But here we are.
[27:03] Councilor Kahnig.
[27:04] Yes.
[27:04] Councilor Mattress.
[27:05] Yes.
[27:06] Supervisor Kahnig.
[27:07] Yes.
[27:07] Councilor Kahnig.
[27:08] Yeah, like the movie adoption of Resolution 169 of 2026 authorizing the purchase of an avant
[27:21] M860 GT sidewalk machine for the Department of Public Works
[27:28] Town Clerk, this is the right model. No, it should have been a thousand. Sorry
[27:34] I'll second
[27:35] Is there any further discussion?
[27:40] Councillor MATTERS? Yes.
[27:42] Supervisor Conway? Yes.
[27:43] Councillor Kennedy? Yes.
[27:45] Councillor Cain? Yes.
[27:48] Resolution 170 of 2026 is authorization to send.
[27:52] Certified adjusted place of percentage is to pound a piece from the bush.
[27:57] I move to the square resolution to add a second.
[27:59] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[28:04] Supervisor Conway? Yes.
[28:06] Councillor Cain? Yes.
[28:07] Councilor Maddars. Yes. Councilor Danyg. Yes.
[28:12] Resolution 171 of 2026. A resolution of support to seeking grant funding to design related
[28:18] change and progress for the Albany Funds and Electric Trail at Electric Avenue in my
[28:22] agreement. Thank you, Councilor Danyg. I have a second. I will second. If you rate those
[28:29] are discussion on this resolution. Councilor Danyg. Yes. Councilor Maddars. Yes.
[28:35] Yes.
[28:35] Supervisor Panway?
[28:37] Yes.
[28:37] Councilor Kennedy.
[28:38] Yep.
[28:41] Like the Moody Doctrine Resolution 172, 2026, to adopt the New York State Homes and
[28:48] Community Renewal Prohousing Communities Pledge.
[28:52] I have a second.
[28:53] I will look second.
[28:54] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[28:59] Yeah, I'm understanding, you know, just a supplement with the supervisor indicated a pre-board.
[29:05] or this is going to be a benefit to the town in so far as this
[29:21] is going to be a benefit
[29:22] to the town in so far as opening up some great opportunities and it really has a
[29:33] almost a pigeonhole title here because I think it implies a limited scope of
[29:40] opportunity whereas it's really going to be broader and it's going to allow
[29:47] our planning and zoning department to make some recommendations to us down
[29:55] line and, you know,
[30:00] You know, I can't help but say that, you know, the supervisor knows these areas of, of governmental administration, better than anybody else, given his background. So, uh, this does tail so nicely to your areas.
[30:16] This town needs affordable housing.
[30:21] It's the thing that's missing while Nancy Kupiac is still
[30:25] here in town because she has done so much of that in her
[30:31] career and advocated for all income housing.
[30:35] Yeah, this opens up grant opportunities and the thing
[30:38] about affordable housing is it can only be made affordable
[30:42] housing by government subsidies and the public barriers, comments, but we need that housing here.
[30:50] So this is a good start.
[30:54] Councilor Mattress?
[30:55] Yes.
[30:56] Councilor Kennedy?
[30:57] Yes.
[30:58] Supervisor Padwai?
[30:59] Yes.
[30:59] Councilor Kahnig?
[31:00] Yes.
[31:05] I'd like to move the adoption of resolution 173 of 2026 to adopt a negative declaration under
[31:11] with a superb, with 401 Columbia term type major site plan.
[31:17] May I have a second?
[31:18] I'll second that.
[31:19] Thank you.
[31:20] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[31:23] Councilor Mattress?
[31:25] Yes.
[31:25] Supervisor Conway?
[31:26] Yes.
[31:27] Councilor Kennedy?
[31:28] Yes.
[31:28] Councilor Kahnig?
[31:29] Yes.
[31:32] The shooting was just a formality, right?
[31:35] What's that?
[31:36] The secret?
[31:37] Well, in the approval of it, I guess.
[31:39] Yeah.
[31:39] For something like one Regeneron, about 800,000 square feet on temple lane, the environmental
[31:48] impact scale was literally this, but these are projects that are understood that we have
[31:57] the zoning, so seeker gets done, there's a form they have to fill out, it has to be reviewed
[32:06] you guys are planning to talk to us, and yeah, this is just the beginning.
[32:12] There would be another public forum.
[32:15] I don't know if it's these two.
[32:17] We're talking about our own community.
[32:20] Yeah, there would be a public forum.
[32:21] It's a major site plan, so we're going to plan for, they will do a full technical review
[32:29] and make a recommendation to the town board.
[32:31] And then we hold a public hearing and we make the final decision.
[32:38] But the planning board is really where the action happens because they're the experts and not very often,
[32:49] but we descend from a planning board recommendation.
[32:53] At least not now, because we have a good planning board.
[32:56] I think the nice thing about this proposal is that it's on a PDD.
[33:04] It's very consistent, very compliant with our recent rezoning.
[33:10] And, you know, toward that end, you know, it fits in within the model.
[33:17] I guess that some of the template that's sort of been set forth with town center
[33:21] in bringing people kind of closely together
[33:26] residentially with commercial development
[33:30] on Columbia term pike.
[33:32] So this fits in nicely.
[33:34] I mean, you've got, you know,
[33:35] the Corolla sand pit on one side.
[33:38] It's already disturbed area of that quarter anyway.
[33:42] And then you've got, of course, you know,
[33:44] Columbia plaza.
[33:45] So it really, there are a lot of positives about this.
[33:50] And I'm sure the way that the town center project made Haniford Plaza more than a
[33:55] healthy book, this project will make Columbia Plaza more down the way. And you see
[34:01] it a whole different kind of tenant wants to go into Haniford's because
[34:06] you're building a walking customary, which is what we tried to do for a long time.
[34:12] That's a little quiet. We're getting there.
[34:18] Resolution 175 to 2026.
[34:22] I'll read it only to 178.
[34:27] 144.
[34:28] The Cognitive Action Resolution 174 to 2026.
[34:32] Cliring intent to serve as lead agency and reinitiate coordinated review over the
[34:38] secret or patrol place.
[34:41] May I have a second?
[34:43] Okay.
[34:44] Thank you.
[34:45] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[34:47] This resolution replaced the resolution of a zone for people.
[34:53] And what happened in the line with your question is that we were done with the environmental review,
[35:01] but the applicant just submitted last week a modification to the project.
[35:05] So, instead of closing the seat, or as we did in the last step, the next resolution,
[35:12] this one, we're re-initiating the seat, the review, because the project changed.
[35:19] So, it's different from the ones there last week.
[35:24] Council matters?
[35:26] Yes.
[35:27] Supervisor Conway?
[35:28] Yes.
[35:28] Councilor Kennedy?
[35:29] Yes.
[35:29] Yes, Councillor Canterty. Yes.
[35:32] The resolution is 75.2026.
[35:36] The resolution should be off the negative.
[35:38] That's the resolution.
[35:39] The clerk for the Churchill's CAF.
[35:41] I'll see.
[35:42] Major's like that.
[35:43] QGV number 25-13.
[35:46] Like, move your thoughts on the first resolution.
[35:49] That's the second thing.
[35:51] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[35:56] Councillor Canterty?
[35:57] Yes.
[35:58] Councillor Canterty?
[35:58] Yes.
[35:59] Yes. Supervisor Conway?
[36:00] Yes.
[36:00] Councilor Mattis. Yes. Resolution 176 of 2026 is a resolution to schedule a public
[36:08] hearing to hear comments about the use of clock license plate readers in the
[36:13] town of East Greenbush. And who of this resolution may have a second.
[36:17] And let's second this. Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[36:21] Yeah. This hearing is set for September 16th at 6 p.m. right here in East
[36:30] just on personal life, really looking forward to this.
[36:34] This is how government should work, okay?
[36:37] Let's get everybody in, let's mix it up,
[36:39] and figure out what to do.
[36:43] You know, the interesting to also, you know,
[36:45] we're gonna hear from the vendor,
[36:48] but the interesting to hear what's been reported on recently
[36:56] as internal changes that apparently may be
[36:59] they're made or recommended because of all of the, what's been going on, you know, inter-community
[37:06] was.
[37:06] That's true.
[37:08] I was in Providence last week where Diane was the lead story, but there's the clock
[37:12] hours.
[37:14] But the district attorney will speak, she has an interesting perspective on that part.
[37:19] She said that people who want to do a heart-to-lead on the data after 48 hours, she will lose
[37:27] case after case because it's not a lot of time to take that as a certain way.
[37:33] So, she will hear her as far as I can't do her justice, but it was interesting because
[37:40] when I heard that, I thought, well, less is much better, but what she's saying is there
[37:45] is a level in which less is not better, because it renders the useless, so there's another way
[37:54] a render of the museless, a better way.
[37:59] Supervisor Conway?
[38:00] Yes.
[38:01] Councilor Kennedy?
[38:02] Yes.
[38:02] Councilor Matters?
[38:03] Yes.
[38:04] Councilor Kahnig?
[38:05] Yes.
[38:07] I'd like to move the adoption of Resolution 177 of 2026 to authorize Supervisor Designing
[38:14] Letter of Support for the Ewa Winning Hudson Electric Trail's Application for Desimation
[38:20] as a National Recreation Trail.
[38:23] May I have a second?
[38:24] Thank you.
[38:26] Is there any further discussion on this resolution?
[38:30] Councilor Batters?
[38:31] Yes.
[38:32] Councilor Gannon?
[38:33] Yes.
[38:34] Supervisor Conway?
[38:35] Yes.
[38:35] Councilor Kennedy?
[38:36] Yes.
[38:39] Revolution 178.
[38:40] It's my favorite.
[38:42] Of 20.6.
[38:44] A revolution in order of the town of the British town board.
[38:51] I can move the adoption of this revolution.
[38:53] Yes.
[38:54] Second.
[38:55] I will second.
[39:00] The next step on this is that Bill has to draft a case for this bill.
[39:09] Yeah, I think what we've done is I think what was collated was a history of the enforcement
[39:14] efforts that they made in local court and where our local law lets us do is if that is not
[39:20] a bail and we can seek to go to a higher court which would be Supreme Court to seek an
[39:26] injunction which is a court order our local courts can't issue injunctions. So he's going
[39:32] to go to Supreme Court to lay this all out and seek an injunction preventing the activities
[39:37] that we're called not. And it's a little bit unusual. I haven't seen too many towns move up
[39:44] to Supreme Court to do it but I think we've got a pretty serious record here as I understand
[39:48] and hopefully we'll be taping seriously by the deal for court and they will use it and then then we'll have to enforce the order, which will be another round, but...
[40:00] That will be a pleasure.
[40:03] I have a whole staff here in town hall who will want to be there as witness when that happened.
[40:09] This is 278 Eliot.
[40:12] It's been a nightmare for the town hall.
[40:15] So we're trying the next step.
[40:18] Councillor Kennedy?
[40:20] Yeah. Supervisor Conway?
[40:22] Yes. Councillor Matters?
[40:24] Yes.
[40:25] Councillor Kennedy. Yes.
[40:28] Resolution 179.26, a resolution to replace the monopates to the position of Port Lieutenant.
[40:35] I mean, this resolution, I have a second.
[40:37] I will have a second. I have a second.
[40:38] It's a very good discussion on this resolution.
[40:41] Yes. Steve is a skill-building instructor.
[40:43] He also is youngest sons off to college in a couple of days, maybe two weeks, within the next two weeks.
[40:54] And Steve's a retired police officer, he was 21 years, and as a police officer he started and all,
[41:02] but he worked mostly in Rentsworth and part-time in Greenwich.
[41:06] So we're having a real problem with finding court attendance,
[41:10] and our court clerks are increasingly worried about some of the things that are going on in court.
[41:18] So we've been interviewing people left and right to find a court attempt.
[41:23] So you wanted to do it, but as you wasn't still a police officer, in order to be a court attempt,
[41:30] you have to be a police officer, a police officer, or a licensed security guard.
[41:36] And since his son's going off to college, the nest will be empty.
[41:41] And he went, he's taking a couple shifts a week at Green Island.
[41:44] And then he is now police officer again, licensed to carry his gun.
[41:49] And if you don't know, Steve Steve is an imposing figure.
[41:53] And he worked the door and trust me.
[41:58] Twice I've gotten emails when he did building inspections that began.
[42:01] And this hulk of a man, like door, and Casey Boyle runs the court office and trains the court courts and all that couldn't be happier than to hear and when we told her that movement resolution for Steve, he just makes everyone feel safe for these around.
[42:21] So this is a really good point.
[42:23] Councillor Caining? Yes. Councillor Matters? Yes.
[42:29] Okay. Supervisor Conway? Yes. Councillor Caining? Yes.
[42:33] Okay. Do I need the Councillors to have anything they want to bring out?
[42:39] Liz will officially be the liaison to Dunlameville. She's already moving on that
[42:46] and to have someone dedicated to that is really really going to have a hard day.
[42:54] And let's do a resolution every month.
[42:57] No, you're throwing at somebody's side.
[42:59] Yeah.
[43:00] And yeah, because D.C. is not happy with that one.
[43:05] Other issues, but the one that is far as I'm concerned,
[43:11] it's hard on the dance that don't like it.
[43:13] What do we do?
[43:17] What is government for?
[43:19] Okay, but I don't make a motion to adjourn, ma'am, a second.
[43:23] So the rest of my room?
[43:25] Yes.
[43:25] Councilor Kennedy?
[43:26] Yeah.
[43:27] Councilor Maddars?
[43:28] Yes.
[43:28] Councilor Kennedy?
[43:29] Yes.
[43:30] Thank you, everyone.
[43:32] Thank you.
[43:37] Good night, guys.
